IPC: F16H63/32
Filed: 1998-04-17
Abstract: A transfer case having a two-speed drive assembly
includes a directly coupled shift operator with
feedback. The shift operator includes an electric,
pneumatic or hydraulic motor (130) which directly, rotatably
drives a shift rail (126). The shift rail includes threads (24)
and receives a shift fork (120) having complementary threads (122).
The shift fork engages a dog clutch (104). Bi-directional
rotation of the shift rail correspondingly bidirectionally
translates the shift fork to select
direct drive (high gear), reduced speed drive (low
gear) or neutral operation of the two-speed drive
assembly. A shift rail position sensor (144) provides data to
associated logic and command circuitry regarding the
actual position of the shift fork.

Abstract: The invention relates to encoding and decoding methods for a high-density data storage
device. In the encoding and decoding methods, input 8-bit data is compressed and error-correction
encoded to be immunized to noise and other signal-distortion causing factors.
The error-corrected data is encoded to 9-bit codewords modulated to be suitable for the
channel characteristics of the storing device. A signal is generated for the input 8-bit data
encoded to modulation codes. The generated signal is pre-compensated and recorded.
The generated signal is processed to be easily detected by reproducing the 9-bit
codewords. The processed signal is detected to minimize an error rate. The detected
signal is decoded according to channel characteristics, and recovered to the input 8-bit
user data through error correction and compression decoding. The 9-bit codeword
encoding step includes the substeps of generating a codeword with a code rate of 8/9 and
MTR of 3, generating a codeword with a maximum zero run length k of 7. determining
whether the fifth bit of the 9-bit codeword having a code of 8/9 and an MIR of 3 and a K
of 7 is zero, and going to mapping the first four bits and last four bits of the input 8-bit
user data to the first four bits and last four bits of the codeword without variation if the
determination result is zero and if the determination result is not zero, mapping input 8-bit
user data for fifth bits that are not zero to most approximate 9-bit codewords which
have ones in the fifth bits thereof. and applying input and output lookup tables between
the input 8-bit user data and the 9-bit codewords according to the mapping results, and
simplifying them to Carnot maps. The input 8-bit data decoding step is performed by
reversely performing the step for encoding the 8-bit user data to the 9-bit codewords.

Abstract: A charging circuit, for use in electronic devices such
as a self-powered electronic lock wherein the power is
provided to the electronic controls (40) of the lock by
a manually manipulated generator (10), includes a pair
of zener diodes (26,28) connected in series, with one of
the zener diodes (26) bridging between the voltage
outputs of two separate generating phases (22,24) of the
generator (10) and the second diode (28) connected in
series with the first diode (26) bridging between one of
the voltage outputs (24) and ground. The placement of
the zener diodes (26,28) in series will limit the
charging of one capacitor (30) to a first low voltage
(6V) and a second capacitor (36) to a higher voltage
(12V), the voltages respectively controlled by the first
zener diode (26) and the second higher voltage (12V)
being the sum of the two zener diode ratings. The
beneficial effects flowing from such a network: 1) the
ability to charge two capacitors (30,36) to differing
voltage levels from a single generator (10) providing an
output voltage from each of two different phases of the
generator; and 2) substantially shortening the charging
time and the amount of generator operation required to
bring the larger of the two capacitors (30) to its full
charge by combining the output of both phases (22,24) of
the generator (10) to charge the capacitor (30) with the
larger capacitance when the capacitor (36) having the
smaller capacitance has been charged to a voltage level
above that of the capacitor (30) with the larger
capacitance.

Abstract: A method of predicting at least one future value of a time series of data using a
neural network by inputting information about a time such as the current time, into
the neural network. For example, bandwidth levels can be predicted to forecast
when bandwidth levels will exceed capacity or previously agreed threshold levels.
The agreed levels may be specified, for example, in a service level agreement
between a service provider and a customer. The predictor also predicts, how much
excess there will be and how long this will occur for. This information is provided to
the service provider/customer and also can be provided to an agent which comprises
a computer system. This agent negotiates on behalf of the service provider (for
example) and in this way new terms for an agreement between the two parties is
obtained

Abstract: A pressure measuring device which utilizes an array of
optical, non-acoustic pressure sensors (22) with a laser
light source (12) which generates a pulsed light signal
into a light transmitting cable (16), wherein the pulsed
light signal propagates along the light transmitting cable
through the array of optical pressure sensors. A plurality
of optical couplers (18) are attached to the light
transmitting cable (16) at multiple locations spaced apart
from one another in order to branch off at least a portion
of the pulsed light each location. Each of the plurality
of optical couplers includes a respective optical pressure
sensor (22) and a pressure insensitive reflector (26),
wherein the branched off portion of the pulsed light signal
is transmitted into both the optical pressure sensor (22)
and the reflector (26). Each optical pressure sensor (22)
reflects a pressure indicating signal back into the optical
coupler (18), while the pressure insensitive reflector (26)
reflects a reference signal back into the optical coupler.
The pressure indicating signal and the reference signal are
reflected through the optical coupler (18) into the light
transmitting cable as a pair of non-overlapping pulsed
signals, which are then retrieved from the light
transmitting cable by a signal detector (32) . The
retrieved pressure indicating signal is compared with the
retrieved reference signal to determine the pressure acting
upon the optical pressure sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to insoluble
compositions containing acylated proteins selected from the
group consisting of acylated insulin, acylated insulin
analog, and acylated proinsulin, and formulations thereof.
The formulations are suitable for parenteral delivery or
other means of delivery, to a patient for extended control
of blood glucose levels. More particularly, the present
invention relates to compositions comprised of an acylated
protein complexed with zinc, protamine, and a phenolic
compound such that the resulting microcrystal is analogous
to the neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin crystal
form. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that
compositions of such acylated proteins have therapeutically
superior subcutaneous release pharmacokinetics, and more
extended and flatter glucodynamics, than presently available
commercial preparations of NPH insulin. Yet, the present
crystals retain certain advantageous properties of NPH
crystals, being readily able to be resuspended and also
mixable with soluble insulins.

Abstract: The invention relates to programmable amplifiers, more specifically to structural
solutions of amplifiers realised on integrated circuits. In the amplifier according to
the invention a differential voltage-mode input signal is converted into a differential
current signal and at least part of the common-mode component is removed from the
differential current signal. An offset current is added to the differential current
signal and the magnitude of the offset current is adjusted according to the gain, thus
preventing the common-mode current from becoming too large at the amplification
stage. The differential current signal is amplified using programmable current
amplifiers realised by current mirrors and converted back into a voltage-mode
signal.

Abstract: In a buckle of the present invention, inertia force F 1  acts in a
direction opposite to a direction toward a disengaging position of a main
body 4d of a lock member when the buckle is pulled by a pretensioner.
Clockwise torque T 1  is developed on a lever 12b and counter-clockwise
torque T 2  is developed on a mass body 12c. Since the torque T 2  of the
mass body 12c is larger generally, the lever 12b and the mass body 12c
rotate together in the counter-clockwise direction so that the lever is set in
the restricting position. At the bottoming of the pulling action of the
buckle, the inertia force F 2  acts in a direction toward the disengaging
position of the main body 4d. Therefore, the mass body 12c rotates in the
clockwise direction and the lever 12b is held in the restricting position so
that the movement of the lock member in the direction toward the
disengaging position of the main body 4d is prevented. As a result of this,
unexpected disengagement between the buckle and the tongue is prevented
even with extreme acceleration, the operational feeling of an operational
button is improved, interchangeability is provided to the operational button,
and the assembly condition of components such as the operational button is
improved.
